Chapter 434
Elara's patience snapped as soon as she heard the word family. Three years ago, she had willingly served as the representative of the West family on the battlefield because Scott had promised to ensure her parents' well-being. She had naively thought her grandfather would welcome her back with open arms after all the hardship she had endured in the military.Unfortunately, nothing had changed, even though the Wests were well aware of all she had been through. They never saw her as part of the family. If she were still vulnerable, she would have likely fallen for Scott and Olivia's sweet words."The family I want?" Elara asked sarcastically.Olivia nodded. "We can always start a new story. Why don't you just let go of your grudge? It's only going to weigh you down. You'll find peace by forgiving us.""Don't change the subject. Since you brought up family, let me tell you something."Elara stood up from her couch and looked around at everyone in Command Control. With a genuine smile, sh

Hazel was moved when she heard Olivia's words and was reminded of her happy childhood. She would never deny that being born into a wealthy family was a blessing. But after growing up, she had to face the pressure of meeting Scott's expectations of her usefulness for the family business.However, Hazel was not academically smart enough to survive, so she had to curry favor with stronger people. At first, she felt sorry for Elara for being excluded, but defending her would have destroyed Hazel."Those were happy times," Hazel said, her eyes filled with tears. "I wish I could return to those days to breathe fresh air. My mom was still alive back then, and I was happier than ever."Roy pulled Hazel into his arms, not expecting her to bring up his late wife. All this time, Hazel had shut herself off when it came to her mother, distracting herself with playful behavior that made it hard for her to focus on her education."Oh, my dear, I'm sorry I haven't been a good father to you. If only I
Chapter 432
Olivia, whose name was called, flinched because she did not expect Elara to want to speak with her. All the members of the West family were crammed together in one prison cell, and because of that, Olivia could clearly feel all eyes turn to her."W-Why me? Grandpa should talk to Elara instead. I'm not the head of the family," Olivia stammered, clearly afraid to face Elara. She had lived for years thinking Elara was not any better than her.The fact that Elara was now someone important in Weltaria made Olivia feel as if the whole world had turned upside down. Her body tensed, and she instinctively hugged herself, as if wanting to disappear from sight. She could not accept the reality that Elara was better than her."I agree with Olivia," Scott spoke with a forced gentle tone. "There's no point in talking to an idiot like her. You should speak to me, your grandfather."Elara rolled her eyes in frustration. "Even in a situation like this, you still have the nerve to reject me. Do you sti

Elara remained alert even though she said she could rest for a moment. It was possible that Arlo had already sent a special team to Weltaria long ago to attack Command Control. However, there were no signs that the enemy would launch an attack."Colonel, the West family currently in custody is requesting a video call with you," Falkner reported, handing over a tablet. "All your family members except your parents have been detained under Ronin's orders. They will be punished for attempting to tarnish the Commander's reputation, as well as for the attempted murder charges involving your cousin, Olivia.""Haha, I almost forgot about them because they're no longer important!" Elara nearly choked on her own spit from laughing, amused by how she had truly forgotten about the West family.Her main focus now was winning this war, not taking revenge on her family. The moment the Wests crossed paths with Cassian, she knew they would meet a tragic end."Connect the call right away!"Falkner nodd
Chapter 430
A guard at the broken entrance hurriedly retrieved Arlo's battle armor, which was stored in another room. The armor, made from spiritual dragon scales, contained a Skyfire formation. Once worn, it merged with Arlo's cultivation energy.This armor once belonged to the Valoric family, a prized heirloom that Arlo had seized after destroying them and the Red Fangs group. Only recognized members seemed to have the right to such things, unlike Ronin, who had no claim to the business legacy left behind by the Valoric family."You look magnificent, Your Majesty," Neron praised as Arlo finished putting on the armor. "Weltaria might be one step ahead of us now. It seems the Commander has anticipated this and is handling it well. But I believe he won't be able to defeat you so easily!""Of course. The Commander is just a newbie in front of me. Does he think he can beat someone as experienced as me? What a joke!" Arlo retorted with a mocking snort and leaped out of Narman Tower.In an instant, he
Chapter 429
The generals bowed to Arlo before leaving his presence. They did not need to ask because they knew exactly what to do. When Arlo ordered each unit to move, it meant the Narman Empire was facing a serious opponent."Your Majesty, we need to form a stronger array formation," said Saul, unafraid to speak his mind as what he saw defied all reason. "The Bulletbane from the Argon Republic can't withstand the impact of the weapons of the Weltaria fleet. We don't know what material they're using, so we can only rely on cultivation!"Arlo's brow furrowed deeper, his jaw tightening as emotions surged. In the tense silence, his hand shot up and struck Saul's face hard. Saul's body was thrown back, his neck twisted before he crashed to the ground without making a sound.Neron could only close his eyes, regretting what had happened to Saul. The Emperor did not think before acting when angry, and everyone knew that. Saul should have kept quiet, but Neron thought he would have said the same thing if
Chapter 428
The naval officers of the Narman Empire did not have enough time to protect themselves with cultivation techniques. The Weltaria forces fired shot after shot without pause as if they were racing against a deadline."Everyone, fall back! I will set up a protective formation first," Yarik waved his hand toward the ship's corridor. "Those who can hold off the attacks, follow me!"A few officers who had reached high cultivation stages followed Yarik, floating upwards onto the ship. They skillfully avoided each shot, thanks to their abilities, while also retaliating with attacks of their own."The sailors guarding here are stronger than the ones at the previous base," Waylon said while forming a protective formation to deflect the fire attacks from Yarik. "They have good cultivation techniques. It may take us some time to defeat all of them.""Can you hold off the stronger enemies for now? We will eliminate the weaker ones before targeting the strong ones," Stefan asked, continuing to shoo
Chapter 427
Arlo suppressed the energy he had gathered in his hand, preparing to strike Saul's neck. He had employed various methods of torture to extract information from the prisoner, and he knew Saul was not lying. The despair and sorrow in Saul's eyes were proof enough that his comrades at the naval base had perished. It must have been agonizing for him to witness such a horrifying event."I need more details," Arlo demanded, waving his hand at the guards holding Neron. "Lieutenant General, do you know anything about this?""I was in the parking lot when Officer Saul approached me and informed me that one of our naval bases was attacked by Weltaria. That's why we tried to reach you. Please forgive us if our manner was improper," Neron explained respectfully, despite Arlo having humiliated him not long ago.The guards lowered their heads, their bodies tensing as Arlo's aura surged wildly. The ground around the Narman Tower trembled. In an instant, the guards' bodies jolted violently. Blood pou

The generals glared at Neron, annoyed that he had ruined the good mood. The live feed displayed that the situation at the Narman border remained calm, while in Weltaria, the Imperial forces had successfully breached the defenses. Neron's words, based solely on his personal assumptions, would not be accepted by Arlo."I apologize for my rudeness, Your Majesty," Neron lowered his head, too afraid to meet Arlo's sharp gaze. "I was just worried because our troops haven't reported anything. Upon further thought, it was just my own concern without any factual basis."Arlo stood up from his chair and walked toward Neron, who sat far from him. The generals held their breath as he passed by them. His domineering aura was suffocating, making it hard for them to breathe."I invited you here for lunch because you're smart for your age, but my judgment was wrong. You're just a foolish young man who doesn't know how to behave," Arlo said, gripping Neron's shoulder so hard that the sound of breaking
